• In Eternals, Nanjiani’s superhero character assumes the identity of a Bollywood star.

Kumail Nanjiani ‘s who hails from Karachi told The Hollywood Reporter that his mother helped him choose Umar Sayeed for the look.

“I wanted to wear a Sherwani because 1. They look awesome and 2. My costume in the film always reminded me of Sherwanis. And I wanted to use a designer in Pakistan, not just a Pakistani designer in the U.S. So I called my mom, she gave me names of three amazing designers in Pakistan,” he said while talking to The Hollywood Reporter.

Nanjiani’s look donning sherwani has also received love on social media.
